Reason Why Elections Are Less Democratic
The reason why elections are less democratic is because some people say that
money is taking away from our well known democracy, but in other instances we
have the greatest democracy compared to other countries of our vast magnitude.
Throughout the nineteenth century campaigns were ran and geared toward the party.
Instead of voting for a person you were voting for an individual party either
federalist or democratic-republican. Today, in the twentieth century, we vote
for the candidate and their true character or what they have to offer us. To
run a successful campaign now-a-days you need money, a good pollster, well
organized debate, direct mail, and positive publicity.
“Money is the mother's milk of politics” if you don't have you aren't going to
go any where. Campaign money is received part from federal and part from
private donors in a presidential election, but congressional elections are all
private donors.
